Here's Friedman's segment with Bob Stauffer from yesterday:
https://omny.fm/shows/oilers-now-wit...-rogers-7-9-21
He talks about the Flames around 14 minutes in. In this segment, he says he hasn't heard about the Flames talking with Gaudreau yet. Less than 12 hours later, he posted his "
31 33 Thoughts" and now says they have started talking.
Also, the mention of Monahan requiring surgery is brief in passing, so I wouldn't take it to mean that it's anything we haven't already heard about.
